  How does the Sherwood preamp section stack up against separate vintage brand preamps that sell for 2-3k?

    The preamp section can not be isolated so hard to evaluate as a stand alone preamp. These use a 5-tube design and my experience and others has been no shortcoming of the amp can be traced to the preamp. In fact it has features most preamps have bit on the Sherwood they actually are useful. And with the variable inputs, balancing the system is easy. The only thing at issue is the dual ganged tone controls. To get the true center position, they need to be scoped. Actually this is true of all. In the amp's favor is with the scope you can actually null each channel. With a single shafts ganged control as most are you you can null 1 but unless you have the luck of the Irish and are favored by the audio saints, the other channel will not be nulled.
    
    Sherwood does not run the preamp tubes hard so many of the amp's are running some rather old glass with still lots of time left on them.
